    Is it safe to go to a stand tomorrow in the same area but about 150yds south from where I was hunting this morn ing? or should I stay out of an area for a couple days..I didn't get busted or anything I just don't want to wear the area out early...

    As long as you used good scent cover and didn't bust deer out of there, you should be just fine. I have a stand that I sit in 60% of the time because it allows me to get in and out without busting deer generally. I see deer there on just about every sit.

    I like to hunt corridors and funnels, so I sit the same stands all the time. As long as you using good scent control (especially boots-I use scent-proof rubber hunting boots) and aren't kicking up deer as you walk in or out, you shouldn't have any problems.
